Integrating Instagram into your website

But the internet has made us more so, partially thanks to Instagram — that handy app on your smartphone that lets you add hip filters to photos so they’ll look like they were taken in the 1970’s.

Now in a matter of seconds you can capture a moment, crop the photo, tweak its colors, and share it with all your social media followers.

Since it’s quicker and easier to view a picture than it is to read even a few sentences, Instagram photos are also one of the best ways for you to communicate with your fans, and one of the best ways to encourage social engagement on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

But let’s not forget about your website. Instagram photo galleries and images embedded on your blog are also a great way to put those stunning pictures to work for you.

Here are 5 tools that will help you better integrate Instagram into your website
